Abstract

Shiba Inu once again disrupts the cryptocurrency market with a strong comeback on the scene in March.

Shiba Inu once again disrupts the cryptocurrency market with a strong comeback on the scene in March. Since the lowest trading point in March, SHIB has gained around 30%, which caused an immediate reaction among whales that started actively moving their funds, according to TradingView.
As the Shiba Inu chart suggests, the asset is currently moving in a 25% rally for the last two weeks, showing that risk-on tendencies have returned to the market. We should also point out that SHIB trading volume also saw a major spike on March 28, which made the day the most intense trading one in the last month.

Despite the absence of major buying power, whales are most likely redistributing funds to sell or buy additional SHIB tokens.
Shiba Inu technical indicators
Previously, because of the absence of almost any kind of volatility on Shiba Inu tokens, it was relatively hard to use various technical analysis tools; hence, the majority of market participants were unable to properly use this method of price movement prediction and analysis.
But thanks to increased volatility, indicators like the Relative Strength Index and Moving Averages became useful again. According to data provided by indicators, Shiba Inu's spike in volatility was followed by the tightening of various moving averages, including 50- and 200-day lines.
As for the RSI, the indicator's value reached 65, which puts the token close to the "overbought zone," which quite often becomes a reason for a price reversal. At press time, Shiba Inu trades at $0.00002759 with a 4% price increase in the last 24 hours.

How Far Are We from the End of the Crypto Bear Market?

How Much Longer Until the Crypto Bear Market Ends? A persistent negative Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index, reaching a record 46 consecutive days of negative values, underscores the ongoing crypto bear market. The downturn accelerated in late May/early June when MicroStrategy (referred to as "Strategy" in the text), a major BTC holder, sold a small amount of Bitcoin (32 BTC), shattering market confidence and triggering sharp declines in BTC, ETH, and SOL. This was compounded by sustained net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. June saw Bitcoin briefly fall below $60,000, its worst weekly performance since 2022, breaking below the critical 200-week moving average—a signal some analysts consider confirmation of a bear market. While some institutional analyses in mid-June suggested the bottom might be near (e.g., around $53,600 based on realized price, or a potential end during the 2026 World Cup summer), further price drops quickly disproved these optimistic forecasts. Key bear market indicators include: the severe de-pegging of MicroStrategy's preferred shares (STRC) from their $100 NAV, which later recovered partly due to company stabilization plans; a record number of BTC (over 10.83 million) and a significant portion of long-term ETH holders now in unrealized loss; and Bitcoin's price trading below its 200-week moving average. Predictions for the bear market's end vary. Some, like investor Yilihua, suggest July-August 2026 could present a final buying opportunity. Others, like miner Jiang Zhu'o'er, predict a bottom between $42,000-$44,000 in October-December 2026, based on the historical lag between MicroStrategy's mNAV ratio bottom and Bitcoin's price bottom. Technical indicators like the BTC 4-year average price index dipped briefly below 1, and the Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, suggesting a need for a price rebound to around $77,000 for a return to positive territory. In the absence of major external catalysts, the consensus leans toward the bear market persisting for another 2-3 months, with late September to early October 2026 being a potential turning point window.

Solana Ecosystem Shows Signs of Recovery: On-Chain Governance Upgrade, Tokenized Stocks and Meme Coins Heat Up

Solana Ecosystem Shows Signs of Revival: Governance Upgrades, Tokenized Stocks, and Memecoins Heat Up While the broader crypto market faces a downturn, Solana has shown relative strength with its price rising nearly 15% recently. This resilience is attributed to warming ecosystem activity, particularly in tokenized stocks and memecoins, coupled with a major upgrade to its on-chain governance. In the Real World Assets (RWA) sector, Solana now leads all public chains in both the number of unique holder wallets and the quantity of RWA assets. Its tokenized stock weekly trading volume has surged to a record $1.42 billion, capturing about 96% of the market share, largely driven by the Backpack exchange. Simultaneously, the Solana memecoin sector has reignited, fueled by the rapid ascent of the ANSEM token following endorsements from a prominent crypto influencer. This has boosted activity across platforms like Pump.fun and increased fee revenue for several Solana-based exchanges. A key development is the launch of Solana Governance Proposals (SGP), a new on-chain mechanism. It allows validators with at least 100,000 SOL delegated to submit proposals for community vote, enhancing decentralized decision-making. SGP will operate alongside the existing technical proposal process (SIMD), focusing on broader ecosystem governance. Despite these positive signals in specific areas, overall on-chain activity and transaction volumes still lag behind previous bull market peaks, indicating the recovery remains partial rather than ecosystem-wide.

While Semiconductor Stocks Plunge, Anthropic Plans to Develop a 2nm Chip

Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, is exploring the development of its own custom AI chip, according to a report from The Information. The company is in early discussions with Samsung Electronics to manufacture the chip using Samsung's most advanced 2-nanometer process and packaging technology. While the project is still in preliminary stages, including defining chip specifications, and could be abandoned, it marks a strategic step for Anthropic. The move comes as the company seeks greater control over its computing costs and hardware optimization, particularly for inference tasks to run its models more efficiently and cheaply. Samsung's potential involvement follows its participation as a strategic investor in Anthropic's recent $65 billion funding round. For Samsung, partnering with a major AI lab represents a significant opportunity for its foundry business to compete with market leader TSMC in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, has previously highlighted the immense financial challenge of securing enough computing power for anticipated growth, making cost-effective inference a critical focus. The company would join other tech giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI in pursuing custom AI silicon. However, analysts note this trend creates deeper interdependencies rather than independence, as US AI labs become more tightly woven into Asian semiconductor supply chains. Despite this move, Anthropic remains heavily reliant on a multi-cloud, multi-vendor strategy for its immediate computing needs. It has secured massive, long-term commitments for capacity from Amazon Web Services (Trainium chips), Google (TPUs), and even leased a large GPU cluster from xAI. For now, Nvidia continues to dominate the AI chip market, with its share reportedly growing to 74%.
